Wounded Spirits, Healing Hearts is a deeply personal memoir and reflective journey rooted in lived experience, ancestral teachings, and the long road toward healing. Written with honesty, humility, and care, Arlene Lehto shares stories shaped by grief, family, identity, resilience, and the quiet strength required to keep going when life fractures what we once believed to be whole. This book does not offer easy answers or polished solutions. Instead, it invites readers into the spaces where healing truly happens — in memory, in truth-telling, and in the courage to face what has been carried for generations. Through moments of loss, love, struggle, and awakening, Lehto explores how intergenerational trauma, silence, and disconnection leave their mark, and how healing begins when we choose to see ourselves and others with compassion. Grounded in Indigenous teachings and personal reflection, Wounded Spirits, Healing Hearts speaks to the complexity of belonging — to family, to culture, to community, and to oneself. It reflects on the impacts of colonization, identity confusion, and systemic harm, while also honoring the resilience, humour, and wisdom that endure despite them. These stories are not shared to dwell in pain, but to illuminate the pathways that lead out of it. Blending storytelling with thoughtful reflection, this book serves as both mirror and companion. Readers are invited to pause, reflect, and consider their own experiences — the wounds they carry, the stories they inherited, and the strength that has sustained them, even when they did not realize it. The writing is gentle yet unflinching, offering space rather than instruction, and presence rather than judgment. Wounded Spirits, Healing Hearts is for those who have known loss, felt unseen, or struggled to reconcile the past with the present. It is for caregivers, helpers, survivors, and anyone walking a healing path — whether just beginning or long underway. Above all, it is a reminder that healing is not about forgetting what hurt us, but about learning how to carry our stories with dignity, understanding, and hope.
